Question Do you have an affiliate program tool for promoting multiple affiliate programs?

Answer Yes, we do offer an Affiliate Program Tool in our software.

Overview

The Affiliate Programs Tool can be purchased as an addon to your membership software. The affiliate programs tool allows you to add external members programs to your software (example: Aweber Affiliate Program, Traffic Exchange Affiliate Program etc) for your Members to join.

When combined with the commission tracking tool, the affiliate programs tool allows your members then to have members they refer see their link to join the affiliate program under them. A similar effect can be created using member variables and resource pages without needing the affiliate programs (it is much easier to manage it using the affiliate programs plugin rather than trying to build it out using member variables).

What can be done with affiliate programs that can't be done with member variables is to have the it pull links from an upline's upline if the sponsor does not have a link set.

For example, lets say you create an affiliate program called "My MLM" and Abe refers Bill who in turn refers Caleb. Abe goes in and puts his link into the My MLM affiliate program, but Bill does not. When Caleb logs into his members area and goes to join "My MLM", because his sponsor Bill does not have a link assigned, it will show Caleb Abe's link instead.
Because of this, it is important that the admin's account has a link for every affiliate program because if no one else in the software has added a link yet, it will need to pull the link from the admin's account.

Q. What's the best/easiest way for us to make the affiliate programs tool and the member showcase tool paid upgrades?

A. This would need to be done in our Pro Software.

What you would do is modify the adminpages files for these pages and create pages for the memberships that you don't want to have access to the page.
Then, make these pages completely blank (or put a message saying they need to upgrade).
You would also want to modify the account.php adminpage so that only the appropriate memberships can see the links to go to these pages.

This is something we can do as a extra support request for an additional 200-400 credits.
